Many of you might be growing cucumbers in your own garden this summer and you know when they grow, they grow. So now you have another yummy recipe for your plentiful crop. Another great thing about a cucumber recipe, the caloric intake. A whole cucumber many times, depending on size is under 50 calories, so using slices as your base instead of say bread saves you a TON of calories and you know on any given day in the summer those calories add up, unfortunately.
